Flight 657 was delayed, so there was @ 10-15 min. before boarding flight 3506. The arriving/departing gates were in close proximity. I decided to use the bathroom and then went, with my colleague, to Buffalo Wild Wings for a beer, to go. The bar attendant put it into a clear plastic cup and I walked across to the boarding gate. 

I sat with my daughter and we both fiddled with our cell phones as they charged. I approached the counter to inquire if flight 3506 had been delay, and to verify that we were at the correct gate. Many passengers gates were changed (last-minute), as the personnel looked frustrated in dealing with the over-crowding and stand-by passenger's haggling. When I approached the counter Christinia Moore, Southwest Customer Service, stated that our flight would be boarding in 10 min. but I would not be allowed to fly. I actually thought she was joking. She stated that I was "drunk" because I had just previously purchased a cup of beer. I offered to recited the Gettysburg address, or to say the alphabet backwards. She asked me if I was on any medication. I disclosed that I take medicine for ADHD and that I only had a beer. She stated that the medication she be mixed with alcohol. She handed me a piece of paper with writing on it and instructed that I take it to the Hilton and that they would give me a room. She also questioned if I wanted her to call the cops. I responded that was exactly what I wanted her to do. When the police arrived he spoke with me and informed me that the airline reserves that right to refuse passengers. He also told me that he knew I wasn't drunk but could not give me a breathalyzer, as they are only used in traffic situations. Personnel of the airport confided with me that the situation was not fair and suggested that I go to the hospital and then call an attorney.
